Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I saw us with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and we would walk with the funeral bier (quickly) in a manner that was almost running. The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it, while a supporting narration (shahid) for it is reported with an authentic chain from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far al-Tayyar (may Allah be pleased with him):

Ibn Abi al-Zinad narrates from his father: I was sitting with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with them both) at al-Baqi' when a funeral passed before us. Ibn Ja'far turned towards us and expressed surprise at how slowly the people were walking with the bier, and he said: "How astonishing is the change in people's condition! By Allah, (in the time of the Prophet) the bier was carried only at a brisk pace (jamz), so much so that a man arguing with another would say: 'O servant of Allah, fear Allah! It is as if you are being rushed along on a bier.' He was expressing surprise at how slowly they walked."
